Roosters?

[julieandwade]

Can someone please advise if these are roosters? They do not have spurs, do not crow, and are only about 6 months old. They are mounting the other hens.. which I know should be an obvious sign. But I have never had roosters before, and they were labeled as "brown egg layers" when we purchased.

Thanks

Yes! They are cockerels. They have developed saddle feathers......and their hackle feathers are pointy, not rounded.
